It shall be this one's duty to offer recipes and menus. These will be easy to follow, and tested to be good enough that a slave would allow his Master to serve it to Master's Guests and reflect only the best of his Master.
For far worse than Master's anger is Master's disappointment.

Robert
Duncan(Born
in January, 1919 in Oakland, California. Died – February, 1988)

Long
before the heroes of Stonewall (1969) even before the Mattachine
Society (1950), Robert Duncan starting making a name
for himself as a homosexual.

He
was active with the start of the bohemian socialist communities of
the 1930s and '40s, and in the Beat
Generation to follow.

In
1941 Duncan was drafted and declared his homosexuality to get
discharged.

In
1944 Duncan had a relationship with the abstract expressionist
painter Robert De Niro Sr. It was in that year Duncan
published a landmark essay: The Homosexual in Society. Duncan
compared the prejudice against the homosexuals with that of African
Americans and Jews. Duncan's essay is considered a pioneering
treatise on the experience of homosexuals in American society.

His
first book, Heavenly City Earthly City, was published in 1947.

In
1951 Duncan met the artist Jess Collins and began a
collaboration and partnership that lasted 37 years till
Duncan's death.

During
the 1960s,
Duncan achieved considerable artistic and critical success with three
books; The Opening of
the Field (1960),
Roots and Branches
(1964), and Bending
the Bow (1968). These
are considered his most significant works.

During
the later part of his life, Duncan's work, came to be distributed
worldwide, and his influence as a poet is evident today in both
mainstream and avant-garde writing.

1968,
disgusted by his difficulties with publishers, he vowed not to
publish a new collection for fifteen
years. It was not
until 1984 that
Ground Work I:
Before the Warappeared, for which
he won the National Poetry Award, to be followed in February
1988, the month of
his death, by Ground
Work II: In the Dark.

Robert
Duncan's presence was felt across many facets of popular culture. His
writing gave hope.
